The Wine of Violence

***COURTESY OF TWOBEARS BOOKS*** Lesley Egan, also known as Dell Shannon and Elizabeth Linington, is one of the most popular and enduring authors in the police procedurals field. THE WINE OF VIOLENCE is one of Miss Egan's most tensely dramatic and suspenseful novels, focusing on one of the greatest dangers a policeman can face: a killer's vengeance. Lt. Charles O'Connor's life is in peril. An escaped convict has already made several attempts on the policeman's life and a stray bullet has seriously wounded O'Connor's fiancee, Katherine Mason. Even as she hovers between life and death, crime in Glendale continues as usual. At the precinct house, Detective Vic Varallo and the men of the force must put their feelings for Katherine and Charles aside. A young girl is the victim of a seemingly motiveless murder...a series of burglaries is sweeping the area...and a group of cynical teenagers is beginning to cause problems. And the escaped convict who wants to kill Lt. O'Connor is still on the loose. THE WINE OF VIOLENCE is a tension-filled volume Egan fans will savor.
